Their web team had problems with the stream and then just turned it off without saying anything in the chat room. It came back on at the break an hour and a half later. Very low quality. Hope they do better today.The times listed are for Scotland.

First Saturday off in ages so gave the streaming a try, and also no luck.

In order to ensure my mind never comes under the power of the self-cherishing attitude,I must obtain control over my own mind. Therefore, amongst all empowerments, the empowerment that gives me control over my mind is the best,and I have received the most profound empowerment with this teaching.-Atisha Dipamkarabrtsal ba'i bkhra drin

If the thought of demons Never rises in your mind, You need not fear the demon hosts around you. It is most important to tame your mind within....

In so far as the Ultimate, or the true nature of being is concerned, there are neither buddhas or demons. He who frees himself from fear and hope, evil and virtue, will realize the insubstantial and groundless nature of confusion. Samsara will then appear as the mahamudra itself….

The quality is not watchable, neither the Tibetan or English is clear.
